If you can assume the same number of fields in each line, you can you can try counting each possible delimiter for the first 5 lines or so, and seeing which returns a reasonable result.

This is a little rough, and could use better error checking, but something along these lines.

Run this in the directory containg the csv files. It assumes file extentions of .csv and saves the "corrected" files as filename.csv.new. Modify to suit.

Update: edited script slightly to remove useless use of array.
